TUS Chapter 124: Torifu's Headache
🕑 Added 2024-06-06 04:24:08 +0000 UTCTorifu was very satisfied with Funan's answer and turned his gaze towards Hiruzen, saying: "If you meet Orochimaru again, Hiruzen, you'll eliminate him, right?"
Hiruzen, after a brief silence, nodded and said: "Yes, you are right."
"This matter is closed." Torifu said coldly: "The Konoha Police Department and the ANBU are to join forces to conduct a complete census of the entire village and find that poisonous snake. Understood?"
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
Funan and Hiruzen nodded one after another and looked at Torifu with a little strangeness.
Hiruzen had a plan, and he didn't want to break relations with the Uchiha right now.
Fūnan, on the other hand, was glad that the fat man had stood up.
Orochimaru was waiting. If Hiruzen sent someone to kill him right now, wouldn't that be sending someone straight to their death?
Funan didn't believe that anyone could get rid of Orochimaru so easily.
In all of Konoha, how many were capable of taking on Orochimaru?
When Orochimaru wiped out enough members of the Sarutobi clan, it would be easier for Funan to take on Hiruzen.
Funan couldn't help but sigh faintly. He was really annoyed by looking at Hiruzen's face all day long, but there was nothing he could do.
The only thing that made Funan happy was that Hiruzen didn't want to see him even more.
Furthermore, his plan to constantly weaken the Konoha Corrupt Quartet clans was certainly working.
The people of the four clans have been killed in batches, and Hiruzen could not say anything about it.
"Okay, now let's talk about Iwagakure!" Torifu thought for a moment and said: "According to the information we got, it seems that something has happened to Onoki's apprentice."
"Apprentice?"
"Deidara?" Funan blurted it out without thinking.
"Huh?" Hiruzen and Torifu were stunned. "How do you know?"
Funan smiled coldly and was about to strike a pose when Torifu quickly interrupted him. "Okay, you don't need to say it. Let's continue with the topic."
"Yes, something has happened to Onoki's apprentice. It seems that he was abducted by an organization. The old man Onoki is so angry." In Torifu's words, his gloating could not be hidden.
Funan couldn't help but frown. If he remembered correctly, Deidara's age should be only a few years older than Naruto and Sasuke, about three or four years old.
Because of Funan's intervention, the Third Shinobi World War ended early, causing Naruto and Sasuke to be born one year earlier, and now they are four years old.
And Deidara?
He would be seven or eight years old at most now, is it worth it for Akatsuki to kidnap him?
Funan shook his head again.
Naruto and Sasuke had been born early, so it was very likely that Deidara had also been born earlier, and even more so before them.
"How old is Deidara?" Funan asked.
Torifu and Hiruzen were even more puzzled.
"It seems to be twelve years old."
So long in advance? That explosive brat!
Funan frowned suddenly.
He had miscalculated!
Originally, he planned to contact Deidara when he was older, but who knew that the other party would not play by the rules.
He had been born before.
Why were you born early?
Funan sighed helplessly and said: "What they mean by this?"
Hiruzen said lightly: "With Onoki's temperament, if his disciple has been kidnapped, he will not sit idly by. We must prepare in advance."
Everyone understood what he meant.
If Onoki took large-scale actions, he might provoke Kumogakure, and the two sides might clash again.
The battle between Kumogakure and Konoha just broke out. If the battle between Kumogakure and Iwagakure breaks out again, it might trigger a chain reaction.
The Great Shinobi War is not far away.
Funan said sinisterly: "Exactly, with Onoki's bad temper, he should learn from our Third Hokage. Look at how good our Hokage has a temper."
"You..." Hiruzen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. 'He always finds a way to get me into everything.'
"Funan!" Torifu's words also became heavier.
"Did I say something wrong?" Funan looked at the others and sneered. "If I said something wrong, you just... bear with it. What else do you want? If you don't accept it, you can hit me!"
Hiruzen glared at Funan fiercely and said to Torifu coldly: "You talk to him, I don't want to see his face."
Funan said slowly: "Monkey, let's be honest. This face of mine is much nicer than yours."
Hiruzen took a deep breath and left without saying goodbye.
"Okay, Funan!" Torifu rubbed his eyebrows and said: "You did a good job with Sunagakure, but you were a bit impulsive. The situation got out of hand."
"So then?"
"So then nothing." Torifu waved his hand and said: "Next time, be more careful. This time, I will record your merits."
"Have you drunk too much?" Funan said in surprise. "What you say doesn't sound like you."
Based on what he did in Sunagakure, Torifu didn't vomit blood, which shows that he has a strong heart. How could he ask for credit for him? How much fake wine did he drink?
Torifu tried hard to contain his anger.
The reason he looked like that was because he heard that Funan had disappeared and the Uchiha clan was starting to be in an uproar. He was so scared that he almost peed on the spot. There was only one sentence in his mind: It's over, Konoha is going to be destroyed.
Fortunately, Funan is back.
"There is one thing I need to ask for your opinion on." Torifu looked at Funan with a serious expression and a heavy tone.
Funan joked: "It doesn't look like a good thing."
"Indeed!" Torifu admitted. "It could be good or bad, depending on how you look at it."
"Tell me about it."
"Onoki has caused quite a stir, mobilizing over three thousand shinobi. And those are the ones we know. We need to be prepared."
"I want to let you take charge of this matter."
"I'll go?" Funan smiled playfully.
He finally understood why Torifu said that this was a good thing and a bad thing. It all depends on how he sees it.
He had been carrying out such high-intensity missions quite a lot recently.
And now, they want him to take over Iwagakure.
What is he trying to do?
Anyone else would have been rested after completing so many missions.
Having too much prestige is sometimes not good!
Now, the other party has made such a choice. Could it be that Hiruzen and Torifu want to give him the position of Hokage?
No way!
After considering all the possibilities, Funan came to a conclusion.
The Mangekyo Sharingan!
These guys, don’t they want to make his Mangekyo lose its light?
It makes a lot of sense!
Who knows the Uchiha clan best? Sarutobi Hiruzen's master, the strongest Mizukage, Senju Tobirama!
They must know the side effects of Mangekyo.
Although he has made countless military achievements, is it possible for a blind man to become a Hokage?
Maybe.
But he would face enormous obstacles. And even more so if that Hokage were an Uchiha.
These guys are too vicious. They actually want to make him blind.
Funan is indignant!
Torifu stood quietly aside, silently looking at Funan, and said: "How is it? Have you thought it through? Will you accept this mission?"
"Yes, I will definitely accept it!" Funan laughed and said: "You want to make me the Hokage, why shouldn't I agree? A shinobi who doesn't want to be the Hokage is not a good shinobi."
Torifu's eyebrows jumped wildly. When Hiruzen proposed that Funan accept this mission, Torifu had doubts.
But he didn't want Hiruzen and Funan to stay in the village either, one of them had to go.
If he sent Hiruzen, an old man, he would be dead on the way, which would be a great sin for him.
Now that Funan agreed so straightforwardly, he hesitated again.
If Funan were to go blind, it would be easier to balance the relations between the Uchiha and Sarutobi clans. But what if something unexpected happens?
'Ugh, I'm really not suitable to be a Hokage!' Torifu sighed and said: "Tsunade, little Tsunade, when will you come back? I miss you so much."
"Can you not be disgusting?" Funan rolled his eyes and said: "Although Tsunade is old, she is still your junior. If you want to have a second spring, you can't find Tsunade. Do you believe that Jiraiya will pee in your mouth in the middle of the night?"
"Get out of here!" Torifu was furious.
"Okay, since you have accepted this mission, then choose some people and set off to the border!" Torifu waved his hand unhappily and said: "Get out of my sight! Just looking at you gives me a headache."
Funan smiled and said: "Acting Hokage, I have another question!"
"What question?" Torifu suddenly became serious. He had a bad feeling.
"Acting Hokage, look, this time, the Uchiha clan sent 300 elites. Why don't Sarutobi Hiruzen and his clan send a thousand or two thousand shinobi as a show of respect?"
"You're dreaming! Show of Respect? I... I just want to ask you, what exactly are you implying?" Torifu was on the verge of losing his temper.
Ask Hiruzen to send out one or two thousand shinobi? Of those he sent last time, how many returned? He even lost his own son, and now you ask him to send more people.
Torifu suppressed his anger.
"Why are you angry?" Funan curled his lips and said: "How can you be like this? I, Uchiha, have sent out hundreds of people. Shouldn't Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Third Hokage, take some action?"
